Page 2. THE CENTRE DEMOC RAT, BELLEFONTE, PENNA, Thurs, Augie ; 7th, 1913, ANENT CONFISCATION. Editor Democrat: “Anent taxation!" Is the theme in the last Democrat of Oliver McKnight, It is an echo of the late lamented Henry George who advocated a land tax, as a panacea for all our tax ills! But George's scheme, however, se- ductive In theory, never gained any advocates outside of the large cities and buncombe towns which, with a beer income had a champayne appe tite. We may readily grant brother Mac's epithet that taxation penal Of course it is. The penalty is heavy in accordance with the ratio of graft, loafing and soldiering we tolerate in our government The trouble with these city and town twaddlers on tax ation, is that they do not understand even the first principles of our sys tem. If our state constitution did not require taxation to he equal and uniform on all subjects or classes of them, throughout the state, then the legislature might accommodate the dwellers in cities and towns by mak- ing a land tax for all purposes (graft included), and this would leave the owners of the land free, as now, to raise the rent and make the renter pay it all. This would be like the tax on Anthracite coal The owner sim- ply raises the price on the product and the consumer, particularly poor and small consumer, pays It, The curse in our state now is the excruciating tax on lands, houses, farms, ete. The great corporations and exploiters, who use the money of the country pay four mills, which they levy in fares and freights: whilst the average rate paid by real estate is twenty mills, or five times as much! The last legislature had a bill before it to equalize taxation on all subjects and all owners alike. It should have passed. It was the measure of Hon Mr. Ramsey, of Potter county, which Mr. Benson, of McKean county cham- ple in the But to return advertisement Many who left state and the Northwest ( ever parted soon had to Mr. McKnig British Columb good homes in middle west to go to ‘anada, rue the day they | with their holdings.

Found Den of Rattlesnakes. Thursday of last week, while out picking huckleberries, F. E. Mertz, of lLoganton, came across a nest of rat. tlesnakes, War was at once declared. Stones were the only weapon Mr. Mertz could find and, as there were four spakes arrayed against one man, a hot battle ensued. Mertz practiced throwing stones when a boy, hence he did quick and effective work with them on this occasion, killing all four of them. jurist, or and the ned. © filled four {the { mon _. TT - A TRIBUTE 70 JUDGE MAYER. Who at One Time Presided Over the Courts of Centre County, following sketch of the late , A. Mayer taken from the Al- toona Tribune of racent date will be of interest to the many friends of the late Judge, who for ten years pre- sided over the courts of Centre coun- ty, when this county and Clinton were one judicial district, What drew forth the article was the fact that the old heme of Judge Mayer at Lock Ha- ven was being demolished to give place to a more modern bullding The writer in the Tribune says: “Judge Mayer, during his nearly 40 vears on the bench, served the whole people all the time. He was gener- to a fault, kindly, helpful, forgiy His private offiee was thronged every morning with the rag tag and bobtail of humanity, as well as more prosperous Individuals, who came for financial aid, help In difficulties, and sound advice. Everyone who went there came away happler and better “When he died he was accorded an imposing funeral by his fellow towns- men, and the bar of Willlamsport at- tended In a body. The throngs in front of his Lock Haven home con- tained many tear-wet eyes, Yet he was forgotten, by the majority A heated judicial campaign followed his demise, and in the squabble to wear his ermine, his memory was al- lowed slumber. A new judge, with favors to dispose, turned all eves to- wards the living power; the dead friend of the people he was, be. came as if he had never lived But in some humble homes name was still held ir reverence.
